I too have issues, FF26 and FF27, flash installed. Flash playback
typically works if I allow the necessary bits and pieces. I can get
soundcloud, youtube and so on to work this way.

I do allow the page to load stuff from bcbits.com and allow execution
of scripts from bcbits.com and bandcamp.com.
This should be enough, since the remaining scripts, from
quantserve.com, google.com, google-analytics.com, facebook.com and
facebook.net, are garbage in my book and should not be necessary to
play music. Even if I allow those garbage scripts, it does not play.

For me the play button does something, it gets replaced with some
spinning circle animation and it seems to attempt to play each song in
the playlist, without success.

Regards,
Philipp
